It looks like you're explicitly providing crt1.o,crti.o,etc.
Try removing all of them, gcc provides them implicitly as you can
see from the error message: note that the multiple definition of _start
is coming from two different crt1.o's.  Ditto for the -lc by the way
though in this case there's no harm in adding it.

Also, when providing information to help us debug things,
it is very useful to add a -v argument to gcc.
